Nice to see someone else besides me admitted to watching a soap. I wouldn't ever watch it if it wasn't for an actor who I feel is just great at his craft. Surprised he never made it big outside of the genre to be honest. He was in some other stuff..a show called 'Prey' that was on Sci-Fi Channel, and I believe had a supporting role on Dawsons Creek for a little while. But yeah, daytime dramas are dying off because networks are realizing that it's way cheaper to have talk shows or reality shows. With those shows, you don't have to pay writers, directors, actors, cast, crew, wardrobe, set designers/builders, and all of that.

I watched The Young and the Restless for about a year during college.
I would come home in between class to eat lunch and my mom would be watching it, so I would watch it with her for some quality time.

Oh, and my fiance is totally hooked on 'Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives'.

**** Guy Fieri in his stupid fat face and stupid ****ing hair. But I've watched enough of them. Way too many in fact.

I watch that show. It's mainly because there's nothing else worth watching at that time. I tell my gf that if they blind-folded Guy Fieri and took him in a McDonald's he'd say, "Nice bun texture and that special sauce is spot on and that lettuce gives a nice contrast, blah, blah, blah."

I don't ever remember him criticizing any food except for a hamburger that had peanut butter on it and that was only because the purveyor warned him that he'll either love it or hate it.

I have a couple "genres" that I keep getting suckered into. One is the stupid storage auction shows, Storage Wars, Storage Wars Texas and Auction Hunters. I hate most of the people on those shows but I still watch.

I also have gotten hooked on all the stupid gold shows. Gold Rush, Jungle Gold, Arctic Gold, all that shit.

My wife gets mad because I call it Sweet Princess. I don't even know why it's funny to me to say it, but it is. The guy is just so, you know.

Self restrained? Right? I mean the guy could probably use Krav Maga on those chefs who give him crappy food. Right? Instead of killing them with his bare hands, he just politely smiles and says, "I'm sorry, but you are no Sweet Genius," and then lets them walk off in shame. I'm just waiting for him to snap and break someone's neck and use that as inspiration for the next round.

That's an interesting fact. I still picture him as a Sweet Princess though. You can't deny that he's kind of an odd duck.
